To find "Mrs" in a work email signature a bit cringe

Just that really, is this a new thing or I'm just noticing it more nowadays that some female colleagues have Mrs first name last name on their email signatures where the norm is just names + job title etc. I've never seen a male colleague's email signature be "Mr X" and i'd find that equally odd to be honest. Unless it's a professional title like Dr or Professor AIBU to think putting your personal title in an email signature a bit cringe ?

I think this probably mostly happens where someone has either a unisex name or a foreign name that may not be obvious what the sex of the person is. I think they would also do Ms or Miss not really expecting to actually be addressed that way.
